No-Run Hurler
So I’ve been nursing a knee boo-boo for a couple weeks and have been missing you men in the mornings. Twig had asked me to guest Q at Hurler a few weeks ago and I had been looking forward to it, so I was glad I felt up for it this week. I’d been on […]
Backblasts….as fleeting as a fart in the wind. Most times.
I’m past due on backsplashes for my recent Q’s. Sorry folks, been busier than a one legged dude in a butt kicking contest. Or is it busier than a one armed coat hanger? Those are some of my favorite euphemisms. Couple others that I enjoy. Warning: there’s an adult word or two in here. If […]

Giddy for the Q
Giddy: (Verb) make (someone) feel excited to the point of disorientation. When Publix asked at Whippin Stick on Saturday if someone would take today’s Q, I jumped. It has been a while since I have Qed and I always enjoy it. Weather- 33- cold and frozen windshield. That time of the year. I finally […]
To The Power of Ten
Check Q calendar; it’s Audit. Love the brother, but likely he’s not showing. Rolled up to A/O to find only Bismarck. After deciding that no one else was coming; we decided who took Q by a quick game of “Rock, Paper, Scissors” and YHC won Q. Begin standard warmup stuff. Grout rolls in a little […]
The ALL BLACKS of Granite
Temperature: 45 degrees Have you ever heard of the ALL BLACKS? The Rugby team of New Zealand, famous for their history and strong tradition of success. Before they start any game, they perform a haka, a Māori challenge or posture dance. Actually, it’s more of a warrior chant, to intimidate the other team. There is […]
It never hurts to keep looking for sunshine- Eeyore
Oh what a morning it has been. Alarm at 4:15 as usually, a little coffee brewing, and some sportscenter in preparation to pre run. Enjoying my coffee and decide to look to see who had the Q this morning at the mount. To my surprise it was me. Immediately I go into panic mode. Found […]
🏥
5:27, driving down N Center St. As I approach the corner of N Center St & 3rd Ave, it’s a ghost town. No shovel flag, no pax, no pre-runner’s cars. Traffic in general was light. 5:28: CE and Twig are there…talking, but also looking anxiously to see if anyone else will join us. There’s still […]
No ghost for this post-Halloween AO
This backblast needs a little back story (cue harp music and fade out…..) Not long ago, YHC was assigned the Q duties of this very AO, duties that he very efficiently shirked. As unintentional as it may have been, a muffled “Oh shit” slid past a bite of half chewed french toast as realization of […]
